This open space in Jishui County has existed for a long time. It is usually only used for going to the market. However, since the three-season rice harvest, it has been forcibly requisitioned by Lao Feng to use it as a drying ground.
As for where those poor vendors go to sell their goods? This is not within the scope of Lao Feng's consideration. Anyway, the world is huge at this time, and it is not as important as the rice that will be used as food! And now it is not only Jishui County that is doing this,
Several other surrounding counties have done this.
Stacks of rice as high as a hill were piled in the middle of the open space, and around it, many people were busy breaking grains. Lao Feng's requirement for them was that not a single grain of rice was allowed to be damaged or lost!
So the speed of this work has obviously slowed down.
There were a lot of people working. In order to prevent thieves from sneaking in and stealing these precious rice, Lao Feng specially set up a guard at the outermost edge of the barn to prevent unfamiliar faces from sneaking in.
The enthusiasm of large-scale collective production is the most infectious. Looking at it, countless ears of rice are lifted high and then dropped heavily into the barrel!
In an instant, dust rose everywhere, accompanied by repeated pounding sounds that filled the entire barnyard.
Seeing such a scene, Xiao Han felt a little jealous. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a few steps forward, he was stopped by a man with a sinister face and who looked like he was not a good person.
"Hey, where are you going, kid? Why don't you back away quickly!"
While scolding, the man pushed Xiao Han back roughly. His two inverted triangular eyes squinted at the staggering Xiao Han, as if he was a rat that came to steal food.
Xiao Han didn't expect this, and almost sat down on the ground. When he stabilized his body, he was about to get angry! But he thought that he was the one who broke in first, and they were just chasing him away according to the rules. His moral integrity was inevitably weakened.
I just felt a little angry in my heart: "Are you blind? Why don't you find a piece of cloth to cover your whole head when you go out? Look how much these clothes cost me? How dare I steal your shabby food?"
However, he didn't seem to expect that Li Rong thought the same way when he was beaten!
"You... where is your county magistrate? Tell him to come over! Tell him that Young Master Xiao is looking for him!" Xiao Han ordered rudely, glaring at the man in front of him.
"Hey..." The man narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Han who was about to yell and curse again, but he didn't know how to hold it back. He said in a stiff tone: "You want to find our county magistrate? Okay, don't move here! I'll do it right now.
Go report it!"
After that, the man looked at Xiao Han carefully, as if he wanted to remember Xiao Han's appearance, and after a while he got into the barn behind.
"Okay, you are looking for the county magistrate, right? If the county magistrate says he doesn't know you after a while, then I will let you get to know me!"
Seeing the man disappearing into the crowd of people working, Xiao Han noticed that there were still a few men around him who were looking here intentionally or unintentionally, so he stopped going forward and stood quietly, holding a pair of
Watch the people working in the barn.
The traditional harvesting work of threshing rice has almost disappeared in later generations. At least in Xiao Han's impression, he only remembers that the large harvester rushed over the field, and then the white rice was delivered directly!
Nowadays, it is quite interesting to see men, women and children using this most primitive method to process the newly harvested grain.
"Master Marquis, why are you here? I tied the donkey and tied it to a corner. It will never escape! But what about the man in the car?" As Xiao Han watched,
When he was getting excited, Xiaodong, who was tied to the donkey, finally came over from behind and reported to him in a loud voice.
There's nothing you can do, it's really noisy here, if you don't make it louder, you probably won't be able to hear anything!
Xiao Han took out his ears, thought for a while, and said loudly to Xiaodong: "I know! As for that man, let him stay in the car for a while, and when Lao Feng comes, find a doctor for him.
Look! Hey, how many times have I told you not to be impulsive, or you will get beaten!"
Xiaodong stared at Xiao Han with wide eyes. It seems that the person who just shouted to beat him to death was you!
There is no way, Mr. Hou can’t be wrong. If Mr. Hou is wrong, please refer to the previous sentence...
Xiaodong, who looked helpless, finally gave up his hands and said that he would never do it again next time. However, what he was thinking at this time was probably only known to Xiaodong himself.
The master and the servant looked at the same place for a while with their hands folded. The crowd in front suddenly became a little commotion. A guy dressed like a bandit hurriedly separated from the crowd and ran towards Xiao Han.
"Who is this person?"
Just when Xiao Han was still touching his chin and looking at the person coming, this "bandit" came straight to him and said angrily: "Xiao Hou? What kind of wind brought you here?!"
"Old...Old Feng?"
Xiao Han was startled. When the "bandit" spoke just now, he immediately recognized the voice of Lao Feng, the magistrate of Jishui County. He was just a dignified county magistrate, how could he dress like this?
"Why are you dressed like this? Robbing the rich and giving to the poor?" Xiao Han asked in surprise.
Old Feng rolled his eyes, pulled off the mask, and explained to Xiao Han with a wry smile: "My Xiaohou, don't joke around! If the censor hears it, then I will be the county magistrate for the rest of my life."
!As for why you are dressed like this?”
As he spoke, Lao Feng shook the cloth that had just been covered over his head, and continued: "It's really because of the busy work in there, and the dust is so heavy that it makes me want to cough all the time, so I have no choice but to wrap my head!"
"Oh~" After hearing what Lao Feng said, Xiao Han suddenly understood.
He had just seen that most of the people working inside were wearing headscarves and covering their faces. He thought this was a rule unique to their county. He never thought that this was just the simplest way to prevent dust.
"By the way, where did that kid who called you just now go? Why didn't he come back with you?" Xiao Han no longer struggled with the issue of dressing up, and suddenly thought of pushing his kid, but when he looked around Lao Feng, he saw
Why can't I find that person's shadow?
"You just called me that person?" Lao Feng blinked and looked at Xiao Han, and said with a little doubt in his tone: "For some reason, he suddenly had a stomachache just now, and the pain was very severe! It is said that he went home to recuperate.
What's going on? Did he mess with you?"
"Stomachache?" Xiao Han chuckled, wondering if he could use his reputation as a miracle doctor to perform an appendectomy on that bastard?
But thinking about the consequences of it being easy to operate but most likely not being able to close, I can only give up in frustration. Forget it, I have a lot of them, please spare your life!
"It's okay, I'm just asking casually." Xiao Hanyun revealed the matter calmly.
As for the fact that the man was so frightened that he hid in the fields for several days after he returned and almost froze to death, I can't blame him at all!
As the county magistrate, Old Feng is also a smart man. He just saw that the boy fell ill immediately after knowing Xiao Han's identity, and he knew there was something going on! However, Xiao Han did not pursue it, and he was happy to see it. After all, there was one more thing to worry about.
It’s better to have one less thing to worry about!
After talking about this, Xiao Han affectionately hugged the old man's shoulders and walked out. The old man and the young man complemented each other perfectly.
"Old Feng, I haven't eaten yet, why don't you hurry up and find someone to cook some food? Also, I had an accident on the way here, and I accidentally beat up a fortune teller by mistake, so why don't you?
